Burning of Karachi is exposing the real face and agendas of coal action government sitting there.if u can't control Karachi how will you control the rest of the country . Every death in Karachi is a proof that despite of SC order and notices the seen and unseen hands are not willing to leave their way which will one day completely ruin the country ...... Imagine life over there ... The city where Bodies of love ones found in Sags . No one knows wether be could come back or not. I remember in 90"s the state tv used to display picture of Karachi in dramas but today only current t affairs programes used to take it when they find this issue helpful in getting rating ........
Living and ruling by the Sword
Where did the interior minister get his figures from? a staggering 1950 people have been killed in karachi violence in 2012 alone. Damn! Zulfiqar Mirza was right about this person.
Trendlines are important to watch and study. Watch Karachi's progress report from 1947 till today. You can easily extrapolate what will be the situation 10 years hence.
Another Beirut in the making.
Dear Altaf bhai,
We people of karachi want your bold direction over killings in the city, We hope very soon you will held a referendum for operation cleanup in the city of Karachi.
